Bakufu Ohno was a Japanese painter and printmaker born in 1888 in Tokyo, Japan. In 1923, after the Great Kanto Earthquake that killed thousands and left the city in ruins, Bakufu moved to Kansai. At the time, he was known for painting landscapes and making fish prints. He showed his oil paintings at the Great Teiten exhibition of 1929.
Bakufu rose to prominence in 1940 after the release of his fish print series – Familiar Fishes of Nippon (Dai Nihon gyorui gashu) – published by Kyoto Hanga-in. Printmaking was a collective effort during the Edo period, requiring an artist, carver, printer, and publisher. Matsuda, Kikuda, Shinagawa, Nagae, and Uchida made up the rest of the team.
Bakufu Ohno created over seventy designs in his career and was recognized nationwide among the public and other printmakers. Three of Ohno’s catalogs were published in the 1950s. Bakufu was a member of the Taiheiyogakai school and honorarily a member of the Hyogo Prefecture Academy of Fine Arts. He died in 1976.
